Did it feel like the differential was slipping? Like hitting a bump? Only in 4 wd? It has happened to me this winter and the dealer tells me nothing is wrong. Have you fixed the problem? Was wondering why my lighter was missing when I bought it! thanks! Read More...

Thats a new one, never heard that before. I've heard that people that use the after market oilable filters may kill the MAS because oil from the filter will coat it. But never heard of a filter so bad that it killed one. Better possibility is that messing with the filter left a connection open between the air filter and the MAS, letting air and dust in. And, I did not ... Read More...

Just thought I would put this here for anyone who might find it useful.

It would turn over and die instantly. I recalled a few months ago while a friend was driving it, it also stalled and restarted after ... Read More...

Rear end traction

Written by: safedad on Jan 20, 2008 02:41 PM

I am considering purchase of used (2002 - 2006) Ford Ranger. Will be driven primarily by my teenagers. Anyone have any experience about how well the rear end sticks to the road? I know some pick-ups can easily fish-tail. We live in northern climate, so snowy roads are occasionally part of the picture. Read More...
